A Star For Wishing

I spied a star for wishing on 
  Atop a world wrapped up in white, 
A silver furnace dead and gone, 
  Yet through the aeons blazing bright. 

The tails of comets streaking through, 
  A sky of mystic diamond gleam, 
Create a matrix red and blue 
  Imprinted on the heaven's scheme. 

I count the cost of missing things, 
  Of sadness scouring deep in me, 
To you my heart cries out and clings 
  To loving, yearning desperately. 

I spied a star for wishing on 
  And as a child I wished I might, 
Speed through the days 'till they are gone 
  And once again you grace my sight...
